So, with anime and manga merch, do you buy it? Do you want to show it off? Do you just want to talk about it? This is your thread for all of that!



I'll just drop a few pictures of things I've bought recently here:

And then a bunch of things I bought from RightStuf at the end of December that arrived only 2 weeks ago

Also, got some questions for ya'll:
Do you buy merch? Why or why not?
Anything you've been eyeing recently?
What have you bought recently?
Got pics of your collection (small part or the entire thing?)?

I'd say the only piece of merchandise that I have worth mentioning is a Clow book with Clow Cards from Cardcaptors (technically Card Captor Sakura, but officially it's for Cardcaptors). Got it when I was a kid but I treasure the hell out of it. Shame I have no way of finding out if I have all of the cards that came with it.

Why is Dengeki here? :P
If we can use games, I could spam my whole game collection xD


Since macho is talking about cards, I actually own Persona ones.

The Clow cards are pretty cool looking, Macho.

I know damn well that you know why Dengeki's here, haha.
For anyone who doesn't know what Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax is, it's a fighting game that features characters from the light novels that Dengeki Bunko publishes in Japan.

Are you referring to Weiss Schwarz cards or some other type of cards for your Persona ones?


I do have a Weiss Schwarz collection, myself. I've got a couple JPN Love Live! boosters, a Monogatari ENG deck, a Kill La Kill ENG deck, a Project Diva F ENG deck, a Love Live! ENG deck, a Nisekoi ENG deck, a few loose ENG Love Live! boosters, a Project Diva F ENG booster box, and a Love Live! ENG booster box. (ENG meaning the cards are in English)

I also have a Cardfight! Vanguard deck and a Force of Will deck. And some Dragon Ball Z cards from the English re-release.

... I may have altogether too many collectible cards, thinking on it.

Those are actually pretty interesting. I'd probably find them cooler if I had spent more than half an hour with a Persona game, though.

What, you think my free time grows on trees? I'm not that rich!

I do have enough money to have splurged on a bunch of merch in the past and have some of it arrive this month, though:

A box of Himouto! Umaru-chan Trading Figures (ordered way back in August or September):
Spoiler:


A box of Love Live! Angelic Petit Nendos (ordered sometime last year, I forget when):
Spoiler:


A set of games clearly targeted at weeb trash like myself:
Spoiler:


Some manga volumes I picked up at Barnes & Noble this past weekend:
Spoiler:


And the Premium Edition blurays for Love Live! School Idol Project's Second Season (ordered middle of the week last week):
Spoiler:


I've got a bunch more stuff coming my way in March, too.

For that Pokemon merch, can I direct you to the thread for it in Pokemon General? http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=292208


Also, please take pics of that Fairy Tail merch and post them here. I'm interested in seeing them.



As for me, I've got a couple things coming in sometime in the next several days and I'll have photos when they get in. One is Accel World (manga) volume 6, the other is a nendoroid of Umaru from Himouto! Umaru-chan. I got their "This has shipped" notices on Sunday.

WHY DIDN'T I SEE THIS THREAD OMFG I'M SO SORRY MY BRAIN IS COMPLETELY FRIED AND IT'S AFFECTING MY EYESIGHT PROBABLY. ;~;

Some of my collections include mostly plushies. To name a bunch of them, I have a Grell, Sebastian, Ciel, Inuyasha, Shippo, Yuki Nagato (She needs a 'bath', I know sorry), Madoka, Haruhi Suzumiya, Kaname Kuran, Lelouch Lamperouge, Edward Elric (took me YEARS to finally get him), Kirito, Asuna, England, America, Renji, Uruhara, Toshiro Hitsugaya, Axel... basically, the list goes on! 8D I'm an HUGE anime plushie collector.

I also collect other things if I really like them or find them useful. For example, things in particular would be my Death Note pencil pouch. I get a majority of my anime stuff from my anime convention, including this pencil pouch of mine.

Oh, and I have Inuyasha and Sesshomaru pillowcases. I've used them for many years. I don't know why, but I have this deep attachment to them I guess. XD I also have a collection of Inuyasha movies & seasons and Bleach movies & seasons, among others which are the Cowboy Bebop movie, Miyazaki's films, and more. I also on some manga as well. My most favorite manga collection is Loveless though. I prefer the manga because it's so sweet. It was the first yaoi thing I ever got into (I think).

I also forgot to mention my Hetalia and Code Geass wallscrolls. The Code Geass one is really dusty because it's in a spot that collects a lot of dust. :c

None of these things are new either (because I know this isn't for new stuff). Unfortunately, a lot of my plushies I mentioned are MIA at the moment. :c I'll try to post some of the ones that aren't later. ^^

Edit: I found whatever I could for my plushies that weren't MIA!

Well, I kind of changed the name from just being "MERCH THREAD" only just this morning and it was kind of far down the thread list for the section, so it was a bit hard to spot.

Kinda jealous of those Yuki Nagato and Haruhi Suzumiya plushes.

Anyway, I've got some arrivals from the past two weeks to post now:

Umaru-chan Nendo!

Accel World manga volume 6

Grab bag items from Right Stuf (L to R: Rental Magica DVD 1, Ristorante Paradiso, Toward the Terra). These were on sale for $3.14 apiece rather than the $10 they normally run as part of a Pi Day Sale they were having.

PMMM: Homura's Revenge! volumes 1 and 2

A Silent Voice volumes 4 & 5

Ani-Imo volume 6

... I may actually be adding to my manga collection faster than I'm reading the books I already have yet again.

Film or series? Both are good but the film is especially dope.
I didn't see any series numbering anywhere on the DVD, so it's probably the movie.

hehe. I love my Haruhi plush. I'll post a pic of her too, but I have to find her. >< She's one of my most favorites out of my entire collection.

Oh! I also have a Gurren Lagann wallscroll that was signed by Kyle Hebert! I don't know where it is, and I don't have old pics of it, sorry. :c I also get to see him again this year, so that makes me happy. <3 I also have a Kamina plush. His cape was signed by Kyle, and he's very special. >w<

Film is from 1980 and the series is from 2007, if there are screens on the back then you'll be able to tell. Very different art styles.

Whilst I did prefer the film it is pretty surprising how underwatched the series is.

Looked at the back and spotted a copyright date of 1980 for the film and a run time of 112 minutes. There's no doubt this is the film now.

Also, that was a hell of a season.

Also, I've got book 5 (volumes 9 & 10) of Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer on the way. Looking forward to finding out how it ends as well as being able to knock a series off of my "currently reading" list that's extremely long.

*bump* because it's been a week and I've got a new book in:

The final book of Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer (volumes 9 & 10)
Spoiler:


Looking forward to reading the finale of the series in the near future.

I also got email notice this morning that my Hotaru nendo I preordered back in October is finally shipping now, so that should be in within the next week, as will volume 6 of Arpeggio of Blue Steel.

Now here's hoping both of my April preorders ship earlier in the month rather than later. My Renge nendo and my Nico Yazawa Picnic Girl ver figures are my expected April arrivals, and Renge's arrival was already pushed back a month as it is.

Been a couple weeks and I've gotten more stuff in those weeks!

Arpeggio of Blue Steel volume 6 arrived:
http://i.imgur.com/4HpQVHHh.jpg

And so did UQ Holder volume 7 (forgot to snap a pic).

I also ordered a Weiss Schwarz Trial Deck for the Love Live! School Idol Festival set:
http://i.imgur.com/P9mEcMYh.jpg

And my Hotaru Ichijo Nendo arrived:
http://i.imgur.com/iWzFu5Mh.jpg

And lastly, inside the box with the Hotaru nedo was a button for DRRR!! x2, included as a freebie by TOM:

I don't expect anything to arrive this week or next, but Anime Detour (a local anime convention) is from April 22 to April 24, so I'll probably have some merch from that!

I was at a local convention this past weekend and had a haul. Albums sorted by booth of origin, and albums in link form as to not kill bandwidth for less fortunate PC users:

Local Comic Shop's Booth. Goodnight Punpun vol 1 highlights this group.

Local Game Store's Booth. Racing Miku 2014 ver highlights this group.

Local Anime Store's Booth. Ace figurine from a grab bag highlights this group.

Booth 4. Index Miracle of Endymion movie poster highlights this group.

Booth 5. Adult Mikuru and Azusa forming an "N" with her hands highlight this group of 20 items.

Booth 6. A handmade one-off Railgun figurine highlights this set.

Artist Alley Pickups! Highlighted on the non-Pokemon side by a group shot of Muse from Love Live! in ninja gear.

Booth 7. Snow Halation Nico and 5th Anniversary Azusa star equally in this one.

And then a Touhou CD from New Year's 2009.

Probably altogether too much bought this year.
whoops
